“As long as we have people contributing to the feral and the domestic population in Richmond, it’s going to be a chronic problem in Richmond" said the Richmond SPCA's Kim Marosevich.

The SPCA has been blaming "irresponsible people" since the year dot, and it works like a hot damn. The Richmond papers will get many letters from weepy people who will write that the SPCA is doing its best and its all the fault of all those "irresponsible people". Sometimes stories like this even make money for the SPCA, as generous animal-lovers make donations to help the SPCA with an awful problem.

Hundreds of times, all over BC, over and over in the media, for fifty years at least, the SPCA has blamed "irresponsible people" for all the killing it does and for all the unwanted pets. Incredibly, it gets away with this even while it sells intact animals and even while its own staff bred and sold animal on the side.

If it is irresponsible to not sterilize your pets, then the SPCA is the most irresponsible of all. And it intends to keep selling intact animals until 2010.
